A few years ago I released an app that actually was a huge hit with BBS users - an app to put in place of a BBS to send a message that the BBS was down, try ag ain later.
I've had a need for this same app on the web now, and while there may be one out there it would be great to have a re-release of BBSDown!
So I grabbed the echo server sample and got it working, using a file on the local hard drive - all's well.
But now I'd like to capture some things from the user, such as their IP address specifically.......how does one grab that?
I don't care what browser they use, or settings or anything else - mainly for security reasons.
Looking at the sample for PBWin 8.04 - how would the echo SERVER grab the clients IP address based on teh TCP connection?
I could just be tired, maybe this is easy......?
Thanks,
